Brothers movie
Note: This review contains spoilers!

Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind film
How the story unfolded was quite interesting. It’s a beautifully woven tale of two souls who, after having been separated by science, still manage to find each other again, because of a force far greater than any form of futuristic technology — love.
I enjoyed the cast of characters of …

I have seen the 1980s comedy Brewster’s Millions, starring Richard Pryor, a couple different times. But, the other day was the first time I actually got a chance to watch the original, black and white film. I have to admit, that older film was much better.
Basically, the plot was …

The Cell movie
This is probably one of the most imaginative and daring films to come along in years. Granted, the basic plot has been done over and over before (finding a serial killer), but in this case, the road toward getting from point A to point Z is what matters. …
Annie movie
Annie is the early 1980’s movie of Little Orphan Annie.
Aileen Quinn is the young lady who plays the title role.

Movie Because I Said So
I was very reluctant to watch the movie “Because I said So”. That’s not because I’m not a fan of Diane Keaton or Mandy Moore. It’s because most romantic comedies have the same basic plot and I knew this one wouldn’t be any different.
And, I was right. However, after …

Protocol movie
Protocol is a nice little comedy about Sunny Davis, a cocktail waitress who saves a dignitary and goes to work for the government. It’s a crazy story that is as probable as it is improbable in this media-conscious world of ours.

“Jane Eyre” with Timothy Dalton and Zelah Clarke
